This DVD features all the major railroads that served the St Louis area in the late 1970s. However, a great majority of the film is focused on two of the regions favorites. The Mopac and Frisco!

Other railroads shown include Amtrak, Illinois Central, GM&O, Southern, Penn Central, B&O/Chessie, SP/Cotton Belt, Burlington Northern/CB&Q, as well as visits to several area yardmasters towers!

If you like MoPac and Frisco this DVD is a must have. The image quality is a little rough but the original sound makes up for it. The was the first time I've gotten to see Frisco freight on film, it's pretty awesome. They spent some time watching the Alton Southern switch and you get to see a few Amtrak trains along with some ICG and SOU freights.

Additional remarks by Matt:
Narration: Just enough.
Would kids enjoy this? Maybe.
Image quality: A little rough around the edges.
DVD Value:: Fair.
Recommend to others? Yes.
